Introduction to Volunteering and Working in Childcare

Introduction to Volunteering and Working in Childcare

April 28, 2016 @ 9:15 am - 11:15 am

This new vocational course is for parents who are interested in moving on to become a volunteer or working in childcare. Parents will explore what is involved in volunteering and the types of opportunities available and the look at what is involved in working in different childcare settings or becoming a child minder. The target group of parents is those with an understanding of speaking, listening, reading and writing in English.

Parents who have already been on a course at Hillcrest may be interested in attending as well as those new to family learning. It provides a good introduction for the planned Level 1 accredited Childcare Programme to run at Hillcrest from September 2016.
